The Primary Cause of Lost Teeth
If you've noticed that your gums bleed when you brush or floss or that they've shifted or are loose, you may have gum disease. Periodontal (gum) disease is the principle cause of lost teeth, far outstripping the losses attributed to simple decay. If you've been advised that you require gum surgery, you will be pleased to discover that it's also possible to control gum disease with a variety of non-surgical methods.

Sedation to Make Your Visit Completely Comfortable
We can ease your dental anxiety. While we work diligently to deliver painless injections, some patients are naturally apprehensive. If this is you, we provide a number of options that may assist you. The first is intravenous (IV) sedation. We call this method "twilight" sedation, and it will ensure a completely relaxed dental visit with no pain or nervousness. You won't be alert to the procedure being done. In fact, we can often handle your complete treatment in a single visit.
We work with an on-site medical doctor, a board-certified anesthesiologist, to provide IV sedation. This is more convenient for you because you can have more care done in one office without having to be referred somewhere else. But more importantly, it gives us complete control over your comfort level and allows Dr. Glass to concentrate on providing you with the beautiful, healthy results that are the reason you come to Advanced Dentistry of Spring.
It is very unusual for a dental practice to be able to provide the variety of specialty procedures offered at Advanced Dentistry of Spring. This combination of an experienced general dentist, multiple specialists such as board-certified anesthesiologist and oral surgeon, and the latest in dental technology allows us to provide complete care under one roof.

It’s never too early to get children in the habit of good oral care. Of course, it’s up to parents to take the “first steps.” Finding new ways to model good dental habits and practice them with your kids is key. The sooner kids begin to take charge of their own teeth, the happier and healthier they (and you) will be. And the payoffs over a lifetime are immeasurable.
Don’t Worry-You’re Not Alone
If you think it’s a challenge to teach your kids good oral care, you’re in good company. Tooth decay is one of the most common childhood diseases. And studies show that almost 50% of kids between six and eight have had at least one cavity.1 These are just a couple of reasons why it’s so important to help kids understand right from the start that proper dental habits are a smart idea.

Missing Teeth? Why Not 'Grow' New Ones?
Is it possible to replace lost teeth in such a way that only your dentist can tell the difference between the replacements and the originals? Yes! With dental implants. Unlike bridges or removable dentures, which sit on top of your gums, dental implants are placed under your gums. The "tooth" placed on an implant appears life-like, because it sits below the gum line just like the original did – it's like growing a new tooth! Whether they're visible in the front of your mouth, or placed in the back where they provide stability to chew a full variety of foods, implants can help you recapture an amazing and healthy smile. We utilize only the best, most well-known and well-researched implants and parts, so you can be assured of top-notch results.

The Importance of Hygiene Visits
One of the more vital reasons to make a dental appointment is to have your teeth cleaned by a professional hygienist. Plaque and tartar develop on teeth over time. Plaque is gooey, but regular brushing typically removes most of it. But unremoved plaque hardens into tartar, which is beyond the reach of your average toothbrush and floss. Tartar deposits grow below the gumline as well as on the surface of your teeth. If you don't get rid of the plaque, you risk more worrisome issues with your teeth and gums later on. Recent research shows a definite link between untreated gum disease and other life-altering conditions like heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Having your teeth cleaned routinely is one of the easiest things you can do to stay healthy!
